| - Get ready for fun on wheels...and one heck of a workout.
A bunch of us took the PP for a tour around Charlotte before owner Tracey officially launched, and boy did we get some honks and hollerin' from everyone in Uptown!
Think of a trolley, that's powered by people sitting down, pedaling. Since the thing only has one gear, you'll be pumping it pretty hard. Even on slight inclines, be prepared to be exhausted! (TIP: if you're a lady with strappy sandal heels, you may want to sit on the bench in the back, and let your friends do the grunt work.)
We had some hilarious twists and turns, where we thought we were going to crash, but Tracey controls the steering and braking. (Good thing if you're drinking, which we were not.)
By the end of the night, we were mostly sweating, but laughing at how we held up traffic at our snails pace. I'm surprised there are no seatbelts on this darned thing...but I guess it counts as a bike.
Bottom line, it's a fun time with a big group of people-- just be prepared to work...and not go too fast!
